Decks & Covered Porches
Deck & Railing Build
Deck and railing build framed for real snow load and footed below frost line, with railing built to survive a Southwest Colorado winter.
Surface material is the part you see. Footing depth, joist span, and ledger flashing are the part that decides whether the deck is still solid in fifteen years.
We have torn out five-year-old decks with perfectly good boards sitting on framing that was never sized for the snow that lands on it up here.
